Well,
this has been a lively little blog of late, hasn’t it?
I’m
very sorry, everyone. It’s been a thoroughly craptastic couple of weeks—I’ve
had my entire work schedule turned upside down, and I’ve had to reset my
circadian rhythm as a result, and it’s not exactly cooperating. I’m very much a
night owl by nature, and half the time I’m getting up so early I might as well
not go to bed at all.
So to
make it up to you, I thought I’d share this preliminary shot of some T-shirt
art I’m doing for Comic-Con this year. That’s right, I’m doing a sequel to last
year’s Rae shirt, this time with Trevor. I tried to give the figure a little
sense of motion this time, an impression that he was plunging out of the darkness
while Rae seemed to sidle back into it. I even managed to include the sling he
used both in his sidekick days and against Cobalt in Volume 1. And yes, his
right eye is blank by design—I’m trying to do something where the lens is at
the wrong angle to show the eye behind it, so that only his left eye is
visible. I thought it would mirror Rae’s single visible eye better, and also
hint at Trevor’s rather shadowy nature. You never can see everything he’s up
to, or everything he’s thinking, can you?
I
haven’t decided yet what quote to slap on the design—although at least one
person has suggested “Always run toward the screaming”—but I think it’s a good
counterpart to the Rae image. What do you all say to his-and-hers bookmarks?
Colors
soon … and feel free to suggest quotes in the comments!
